The success of the bidding process for teams in the I-League has come as an eye-opener for all. Only prior to the last edition, JSW had successfully bid to get an I-League team from Bangalore and won the title in a convincing fashion in their first season.
In order to broadbase the game, AIFF may give preference at its own discretion to bids received from clubs/entities who want to operate from non I-League cities like Ahmedabad, Baroda and Chennai.
The invitation for the tender will be published Monday in some national dailies.
